Deuteronomy 28:59 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:59

Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful
Visible, remarkable, distinguishable, and astonishing to all that see them:

and the plagues of thy seed;
for they were to continue, as they have done, With their posterity, age after age:

[even] great plagues, and of long continuance;
great as to quality and quantity, and firm, sure, lasting, and durable; the word used is rendered "sure" in ( Isaiah 55:3 ) ; sure by prophecy and in the event; and which when inflicted remained, as they have 1700 years; all which might be believed as certain, or what would certainly come to pass, and be depended on:

and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance;
besides those diseases mentioned ( Deuteronomy 28:27 Deuteronomy 28:35 ) ; or however others including them.

Deuteronomy 28:59 In-Context

57 not wanting to give them any of the afterbirth she pushed out or the babies she bore, because she will be eating them secretly while starving due to the desperate and dire circumstances that your enemy will bring on you in your cities.
58 If you don't carefully keep all the words of this Instruction that are written in this scroll, by fearing the awesome and glorious name of the LORD your God—
59 the LORD will overwhelm you and your descendants with severe and chronic afflictions, and with terrible and untreatable sicknesses.
60 He'll put on you all the Egyptian diseases about which you were so afraid; they will stick to you!
61 What's more, the LORD will bring on you all the other diseases and plagues that aren't written in this Instruction scroll until you are completely wiped out.
